antonio.ierano@ierano.it 01/11/2017 AI Tech Update, Tech Update in English

I have been asked to write down a few things related to NFV and security. NFV is relatively a new thing in the IT world. It has been on the news in 2012 and since then it has followed the developing path common to the virtualization technologies. Virtualization has made dramatic improvement in the last years. It all started at first with simple virtualization platforms, of course VMware on top of our mind, but not only. The idea was to abstract HW platforms from software ones. Developing the idea, the abstraction growth covering multiple hw platforms moving also to the…

Quando è la sicurezza a pagare I tuoi errori: ma chi li fa i budget di sicurezza… Paperino?

Lo so che non ti piace sentirtelo dire, ma se vieni attaccato da un ransomware, se ti hackerano, se un intruso ti ruba tutti i tuoi dati e via dicendo, al 90% la colpa è solo tua. Il rimanente 10% di colpa la puoi addossare al governo, al tempo, al fatto che non ci sono più le mezze stagioni e via dicendo. Perché ti dico questo? Perché, credilo o meno, ci sono tanti esperti in giro che cercano disperatamente di spiegarti come vanno le cose. Da saggio Paolo Perego al buon Andrea Monguzzi, una lunga teoria di esperti ha speso…

Happy new insecure 2017: my resolutions and wishlist for new year

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 01/03/2017 Editorials, Editorials in English

Here we are, a new year comes and we, as cyber security expert, will keep warning the world about the deeply insecure world we are living. And we will announce new technologies and new devastating scenarios related to new technologies. IoT and Cloud will rise their evil face while bad people will be lurking in the dark waiting to attack the innocent lamb crossing the road. But, in all of this, the most of the damage will be still done by bad designed systems, by managers that does not understand what means living in a digital world, by politicians that…

Solution selling: are you sure you know what really means?

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 12/15/2016 Editorials, Editorials in English

I hear a lot of people talking a lot about “solutions selling”, all keep telling us they are moving to that area, but do we really understand what “solution selling” means? Solution selling does not mean we have to sell “a solution” in terms of a complicated architecture or a set of interconnected boxes or whatsoever. Solution selling is a sales methodology. Rather than just promoting an existing product, the salesperson focuses on the customer’s pain(s) and addresses the issue with his or her offerings (product and services). The resolution of the pain is what is a “solution”. What does…

Firewall: Traditional, UTM and NGFW. Understanding the difference One of the problem nowadays when we talk about firewalls is to understand what actually a firewall is and what means the acronym that are used to define the different type of firewalls. The common definition today recognizes 3 main types of firewalls: • Firewalls • UTM • NGFW But what are the differences (if any) between those things? Let’s start with the very basic: what a firewall is. Firewall: A firewall is software used to maintain the security of a private network.

Caro HR Manager: Storia di un CV e della sua privacy (GDPR lo dici a tua sorella)

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 12/14/2016 Aggiornamenti tecnici in Italiano, AI Tech Update, Editoriali in Italiano, Editorials

Caro HR Manager: Storia di un CV e della sua privacy (GDPR lo dici a tua sorella) Sono un poco preoccupato, perché la mia impressione è che in Italia, a fronte di una delle legislazioni più severe d’Europa e i nuovi vincoli introdotti od in via di introduzione dal GDPR, il concetto di privacy sia altamente sottovalutato. Il problema ovviamente è insito nella storica sottovalutazione italica dell’impatto delle strutture informatiche all’interno dei processi produttivi, decisionali e manageriali. Insomma non ci si interessa, non si capisce, e non si valuta. Di conseguenza non si correggono comportamenti errati e, allo stesso tempo,…

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) Pretty Good Privacy or PGP is a popular program used to encrypt and decrypt email over the Internet, as well as authenticate messages with digital signatures and encrypted stored files. Previously available as freeware and now only available as a low-cost commercial version, PGP was once the most widely used privacy-ensuring program by individuals and is also used by many corporations. It was developed by Philip R. Zimmermann in 1991 and has become a de facto standard for email security. How PGP works Pretty Good Privacy uses a variation of the public key system. In this…
